The Twins haven't lost a series in New York since 2011.  Let that sink in too.

I know, I was shocked too.

Through 4.5 innings:

 

Pelfrey - 217 pitches

Sabathia - 11 pitches

The twins haven't won a season series against the Yankees since 2001. Let that sink deep into your skull.

And we know it wasn't Gardy's fault. If he'd only had some decent players.

No. No...I can't take another no hitter/perfect game against the Yankees. I live in pennsylvania and I distinctly remember 10 year old me listening to David wells throw his PG. I simply cannot take more embarrassment at the hands of these guys. I won't watch another game all year.

2011? Or 2001?

Waste not, want not.

 

Let us bring Plouffe in...

There goes the PG. I thank heavens I won't have to watch replays of another slovenly pitcher drop to his knees in elation against our guys.

Will Hunter relinquish right field this weekend? I still believe my bold prediction will come to pass. So sayeth I.

 

The Eiffel Tower is New York? When did that happen?

Hunter is stinking up the joint.

 

The Eiffel Tower is New York? When did that happen?

 

Yeah... Monument to be named later... All Part of the Statue of Liberty Deal from a few years back. 

Well, the last time it happened before then was 1992. Two season series wins in 23 years. There isn't really a sports term to describe that kind of domination. Maybe owning?

As I noted in my non-award winning post today, comparing the Twins/Yankees non rivalry to the Vikings/Lions from the late '60's through '80's! I think 34-9 Vikes!

Man, Hunter's 5-45 August is getting harder and harder to watch

Finally! Now we can lose meekly, but not historically, per the norm.

I would argue the best three OF the twins could throw out every night is Buxton Rosario and Hicks. It's a disgrace 2 of those three aren't playing in a near must win game

Thank god.

Ullger, is that you???

That was nice...and then stupid as hell.

For gods sake, why send him? Wasn't even close.

Still hate this team.

Normally I would bitch about that send, but robinson was due up next which is a sure out anyways. I'm fine with that send

 

Thank god.

Who is this god you speak of?

yay!  a run!

 

Ullger, is that you???

Twins Baserunning -- must be learning from skunks.

 

It stinks.

Seriously, what the hell was that? First we have to watch Torii try to steal yesterday and now we send a guy who gets thrown out by 20 feet. Bet we don't get another runner on base the rest of the game now.

Somebody please punch Gene Glynn directly in the face upon returning to the dugout.

 

WTF?!!!

Send him. Why not. It took near perfect execution to get him. Aggression on the basepaths is good.

Pelfrey needs a shutdown inning. and by that I mean keeping it under 30 pitches.

 

Yeah... Monument to be named later... All Part of the Statue of Liberty Deal from a few years back. 

 

Not a free agent signing?

 

I guess that's how come i like Mount Rushmore. That's home grown talent...
